4. Follow these steps for healthier-looking skin:
1. Cleanse
Cleansing is the first step of any good skincare routine. The type of cleanser
you use matters depending on your skin type. A gentle cleanser is a way to go,
especially if you plan on using more active ingredients down the line. Cleanse
your skin before applying skincare products. Use a gentle cleanser to remove
dirt, oil, and debris, and helps prevent clogged pores and breakout.
5. 2. Moisturize
Get the most out of moisturizer by applying it on damp skin—moisturizer locks
in water in your skin, helping it look brighter and younger. Remember to
moisturize your face, body, and lips even if you have oily skin. For daytime use,
opt for a light moisturizer that will soak in quickly and won’t cause piling under
makeup.
6. 3. Sunscreen
If there is a single commandment you pick up in the new year, it should be
applying sunscreen daily. Whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or rainy outside, sunscreen
is non-negotiable. It protects your skin against harmful rays that are always
present in the atmosphere regardless of temperature or season. UV rays are
extremely damaging to the skin and contribute not only to skin aging, wrinkles,
dark spots but also to skin cancer development.
7. 4. Wash Off Your Makeup
It can be tempting not to remove makeup and go straight to bed after a long
day. But washing your face before hitting the sack is a must. Makeup left on the
skin overnight can not only clog pores and breed bacteria, but it does not give
your skin a moment for the self-repair process to occur effectively, therefore
accelerating the aging process. More so, leaving your makeup overnight can
lead to acne, flaky, red, and irritated skin.
8. To maximize the results and minimize skin irritations, make sure to use products
specifically made for your skin type.
• Sensitive skin may sting or burn after product use
• Normal skin is clear and not sensitive
• Dry skin is flaky, itchy, or rough
• Oily skin is shiny and greasy
• Combination skin is dry in some areas while oily in others

before starting any skincare routine.

usual dermatology treatments.
